ANORDNING FOR ATT PAFORA FOREMAL PA EN TRANSPORTOR

A device for loading objects P, for example parcels or luggage, onto a conveyor provided with carriers 8 so as to obtain, on the conveyor, a uniform spacing of the rear faces of the objects, in particular for the purpose of sorting them according to their respective destinations, comprises means such as an admission slide 1 for bringing the objects onto an intermediate admission surface, e.g. a truncated cone 2. The cone 2 is surrounded by a skirt 3 forming a barrier and objects resting against the cone and the skirt are carried along by means of blades 6 carried by the cone 2 rotating in synchronism with the passage of the carriers 8. The objects pass through an opening in the skirt onto the carriers 8. The intermediate admission surface may be in the form of an endless belt which cooperates with a fixed barrier, the objects being carried along the barrier to a discharge opening by flights on the belt.
